TILE LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY Fxtructsfrom the Morning Pvers,4lprilio,lB2os [TI,VE TIMM j Tr i be untimely and melancholy death of Lieut, 4ber f at the ; on Wednesday last, en account of which we have extracted from the Kentish Raeette, is an event which cannot be looked ut -without exciting very painful reflections. This officer was employed on what is called the " pre -ventive service"—that is, the prevention of smug gling along the southern coast of England, and WAS shot—accideretally, of course—by one of his Own men engaged in the seine duty. But it was only the mistake of the person at whom the man fired that was accidental : the shot was a delibe rate shot, intended to take away the life of some body,ld that somebody was guilty of no offence —nay, was charged with none—but that of having omitted to answer the sailor who killed him, when the latter said he hailed (though none of the witnesses present had heard him hail) from a distance of 50 , yards! Now, we cannot refrain from asking, whether it is really - in England during peace that such things happen ?—whether it is in a country where law exists, that orders have been issued from any public authority, capable of being construed by those whose duty it is to ex ecute them, into a privilege of shooting the King's subjects for mistaking a signal', or not answering any man who says he calls to them from a dis tance, and therefore shoots , them as he would wild beasts ? We repeat, that the only excuse made, or attempted, by the seaman who shut his officer in the recent instance, was that he received no answer when he hailed. It is vain to assert that the specific instructions given to the preven tive-service-men did not bear them out in such acts of violence. I f the service on which they are employed he of a nature to hurry them into such mistakes of their orders, it is intolerable in a country like Great Britain. On board, the ex traordinary character of the service requires that' it should he maintained by a rigorous and per emptory discipline—a word and a blow are there things of course. in pursuing smug glers also upon the water, where the whole community is confined to boats, and consists of but two descriptions of people—the breakers of the law, and its official ministers,—a rule may he laid down for shortening the pursuit, securing the property liable to confiscation, and so de terring from a repetition of the same offences, which would be uttered insupportable if brought into activity ashore. It would be seen that under the regulations of this preventive service, rude sailors with cutlasses and pistols in their hands are invested with a magisterial authority, to stop whom they please, question whom they please,, and carry whom they please into captivity, if caught within a certain distance of the coast. His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, the venerable Lord Eldon, might either or both of them be boarded and overhauled at night by these police-officers of the ocean, if Met with in a meditative rumble a mile or so from any of the stations called " Loot-on ts." We objected from the first to this metamorphosis of our bold seamen into so many ferrets, and the degradetion of their own tiroe service into one for which none but the regular bred sharks of the Custom-house can be efficiently adapted.. It is impossible to make seamed understand the respect for liberty and person under which all the legal functionaries of this country are forced to execute the duties im posed upon them; nor is it a whit more feasible to teach a seaman how to discriminate in all cases between those of the King's subjects who seek only the protection of the laws, and those who subsist by evading them. The sailors ought to be restored to their proper element ; the charge. of smagglers ought to be confided to the Custom-house ; and the soil of England no longer visited by martial law in its most arbi. trary and undiscrimivating forms. [MORNING HErtALD.I Referring again to the proposed increase of salary to Mr. Iluskisson,. we must say, that con. sidering the length of time they have had, for ar ranging it, Government have managed the matter at clumsily as they well could, and in a manner calculated in some degree to shake their popu larity with their country. There is in the speeches which appear to have been delivered upon the subject nom. of that high tune which we should wish to see distinguish public men ; but, on the contrary, too much of that low peddling spirit which centres every thing in self, and places salary far above duty or patriotic feeling. Mr. Buskisson's own interference in the debate was in the worst possible taste ; anti the whole pro ceeding., we repeat, places all parties in a situation by no means enviable. We have been ever ready to bear testimony to Mr. Huskisson's merits as a public man ; but when he took the two offices he now holds, be knew the terms upon which he was to hold them, anti backed as his services, are, by good contingent pensions to himself and some part of his family, we do not believe that at the time of taking office, he considered that he would be ill paid, tin that when ParliamPut was engaged in lopping oil every evoidable expence, any one would dream of increasing the emoluments of these. , But luckily for Mr. Huskisson (who Was not, we believe, bred in very, high Tory principles), he had: the good fortune to win the good graces of the cc gentlemen opposite," one of whotn (Mr. Baring), with an eagerness that he now repents, suggested that the office of President of the Board of Trade Omit& have a salary adequate to the merits of the present occupant, totally regardless, however, of that occupant being otherwise proVided for, and of la 9 having taken office upon a faith, and under cieturnstaeces. which could not be misunder stood. Prompted by this kind of hint,, and armed with the recommendation of their oppo. 'tents, away fly alt the economical resolves of the Government ' and. they sere upon the occasion to p rt ip osn ot. only a tolerable large salary to the p res w eitto t t h e ,Li o o t ti of Trade, but to provide llSAltsvfirreasurership of the Navy for some thelr Many expectant adherents, whom the , iste "obit of retrenchment has. tired into Aintoat:ltikewarrnness and indifference ; and the country is thus to ' be charged with an addi-1 tional expence of five thousand pounds a-year, which was neither called for nor expelled, while, with a miserable parsimony, we are paring down the salaries of clerks, and post men to turns which in many cases hardly afford subsistence or insure integrity. The, debate On this occasion has thrown south light both upon Men and circumstances which 'we should have been glad had never been revealed. Among the rest the irresponsible responsibility of the Treasurer of the Navy is not a little amts. sing. It is contended that it is an office, if not of great labour, at least of great trust, the holder being responsible for all the moneys which pass through the office; yet, when any of it is lost, not a farthing has this most responsible officer to pay, unless, as can rarely happen, the loss has occurred by some personal fraud or negligence of his own. Whe ther those who use such arguments have higher opinion of the wisdom or gullibility of their auditors, is what we leave for their mature re• flection and that of the country to'determine. rNEW TIMES.] A report was very prevalent at the West End of the town on Saturday evening, that a meeting -had been held at Mr. Canning's, at which the Right Hon. Secretary bud informed his parlia mentacy friends that their public services would close at Whitsuntide. Of course people began to prepare for the arduous duty of canvassing ; and we should not wonder if some worthy aspi rants after Senatorial fame, had broken into their Sabbath meditations with preparatives for the ap •proachiug election. We are sorry to disturb these preasant visions ; but truth compels us to declare, that there is no truth at all in the report. The meeting at Mr. Canning's was purely official, and not one word was uttered on the subject of Dissolution. So much for" con fident" rumours derived from the very best autho rity ;" for our part, we believe that we know just as much as any individual breathing (that is to say, nothing at all) about the time when Parlia ment is to be dissolved. All that can at present be determined is, that nothing is determined on the subject. Much Parliamentary business yet remains to be done. Several important public and many private Bills are in their course through the two Houses, and there is one very interesting and ardu ous subject yet untouched, e allude to the Report of the ChanceryCommission,which will serve as the groundwork of four or five distinct Bills. These, we understand, will very shortly be brought for ward by the Attorney-General, and will tote. (her embrance as effectual a reform of the prac tice and course of the Court of Chancery, as can he made practically useful. Still it may easily be believed, that measures of such conseque'nce cannot pass through the two Ilouses without many and long diszus , ,ions, which must necessa rily tend to protr act the present Session. [BRITISH I It ESS.i The affairs of Greece continue to occupy the public attention throughout Europe. The guess tion is undoubtedly beset with difficulties of no ordinary description. On the one hand, our jealousy of Russia prevents us from permitting her to interfere in the affairs of Greece ; and on the other, our sympathy for the Greeks, and our own interest in their emancipation, render it highly improper for us to leave them again to fall under the dominion of the Ottomans. The most obvious course la undoubtedly, to leave the Greeks to themselves ; but this is one of those temporizing measures which only increase the danger by delaying the remedy. If, Greece should achieve its own deliverance an event which every day seems to render more doubtful—what would the situation of that country be in the vicinity of the great empires of Russia and Austria ? It would be a mere despondency, and so far from establishing a bar rier against the power of Russia, it would give 'the greatest facility to her future enterprises, be cause she would no longer have to contend with the Turkish empire, but with a small part of it erected into an independent State. The best me• thod therefore would be, in our opinion, to allow Russia to interfere in Greece ; but to take care that we should have some indemnity which might counterbalance her advantages. We would not by any means give up Greece as an integral part of the Russian dominions; but we would allow her to obtain the same influence there as Austria has in Naples,and France in Spain, and we would allow that only on condition that we should be permitted to obtain a similar influence in Egypt. This influence might be acquired by making a diversion to recall Ibrahim ; and it is neces. sary for us, because the French have Dot yet abandoned the idea of attacking India through Egypt. The Porte, it is true, has always been a faithful ally of this country, and that circum stance, we are reedy to admit, increases the dilii• culties that the Cabinet of Great Britain has to contend with on this distressing and perplexing subject ; but the conduct of the British Ministry has evinced such scrupulous delicacy tosiards the Porte during, the whole of her struggle with the Greeks, that the most fastidious jealousy could not be excited by it. But paramount duties now force themselves on the attention of Mr. Canning and his colleagues, and it becomes not not only a question of feeling, but of policy, as to this country remaining any longer a passive spectator of affairs in the Morea ; and we hope to see them giving that tone to the negociations now carrying on, that still put an end to a con test that, independent of every other considera tion, may in its result, if timely interference does not take place, severely affect British in terests. " The Literary and Political. Life of Sir PrilLte Fumvos," who, during more than half a century, attracted so much public attention, is likely to be soon given to the world, by one who was w ell acquainted will, his genius and talents. The long disputed question relating to the author of " Jurous's Letters"' win, we understand, be finally decided , when this very interesting bla graphy shall appear.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, APUIL 8. POISONING IN JEST. John Parton and Elzabeth Berkaey were indicted for ad ministering 8 grains of tartar emetic to Nicholas Cross, with the intent of doing him bodily harm, The prosecutor stated, that he is a private in the 3d Regiment of Guards, and on the 24th February last was billetted on the Bench of Grapes public house, ltow-street,. Covent-garden. He went there with the billet between 2 and 3 O'clock, and the landlady gave him a pint of porter, which he took into the tap-room and drank...._ The two prisoners were, at the time drinking in the tap-room, as were two other men and a woman. After he drank his porter, he left the tap-room, and returned in a short time, when one of the men, not the prisoner, prevailed on him to drink a glass of ale. He soon after became sick, and went into the yard, where he vomited, &c., and became insensible, and knew nothing more of what happened to him. Ain Cole, a surgeon, proved, that about 5 o'clock on the day in question, he was called in to the prosecutor, and found him in a state of insensibility, anti with scarcely any signiof life. All the appearances indicated his having taken an overdose of tartar emetic. A man of colour proved, that about three o'clock he went into the tap.room of the Bunch of Grapes, and the male prisoner asked him to go for a penny worth of tartar emetic, which wit. ness declined. Three chymists in the neighbourhood of Bow-street, proved, that about 4 o'clock on the '24th of February, the female pri soner purchased from one, four grains of tartar emetic ; from each of the others, two grains each ; in the first case, she said it was to give to a large Newfoundland dog; in the others, that it was a doze for her husband. The male prisoner said, in his defence, that he had a New. foundland dog with him, which he was informed had taken poison, and that he publicly asked the man of colour in the tap-room, to bring him a dose of tartar emetic to administer to the dog, and that person having refused, the female prisoner went for it; and after she brought it, laid it on the table, from which it was taken without his knowledge ; and, If put in the ale given to the prosecutor, that was also done without his par. ticipation. The female prisoner told a similar story. A wit. ness proved that the male prisoner had a large dog with him at the time. The Jury, without hesitation, found both the prisoners Guilty. The CIIAIR3jAN, in passing sentence, observed, that had the prosecutor died, both the prisoners would have had to an swer for a capital offence. The judgment of the Court was, that they should each be imprisoned six months in the House of Correction, and kept to hard labour. SOCIETY FOR TILE SUPPRESSION OF VICE. John Humphreys, a young bookseller, who had on Friday pleaded "guilty" to an indictment preferred against him by the ,Society for the Suppression of 'Vice, for selling obscene publications, was broil:tilt up for judgment. Mr. Bignold, an of fi cer of the Society, prov e d th at h e h ad purchased the books he produced at the shop of the defendant, 7A, High Holborn. The indecent prints they contained were exhibited in the window, and crowds of young persons were looking at them and making comments. The defendant had a letter from the Society, threatening hint with a prosecution if he did not discontinue the sale; but the sale was continued after the letter was sent. Another witness gave similar evi dence. The defendant addressed the Court. lie said he was not able to employ a counsel. The books be was prosecuted for publishing were reprints of old books, which had never been judged illegal, and were at this moment published by other booksellers. He read copies of two letters he had written to the Society for the Suppression of Vice, expressive of his contrition, and his readiness to give up all the c o pi es o f r,::milar works in his possession, and to enter into recognizance never to publish any of the same kind.—The Court sentenced him to two months' imprisonment. To T. TAYLOR, Esq. No, 9, New Bridge-street, London. HONOURED SIR, I BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the IL year 1790, 1 had been afflicted with a certain complaint, which, from its obstinately resisting every course et medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and on ;lergoing several severe courses of salivation, mid twice dis charged from the Hospital with little relief, w iuld appear to be of the mast inveterate nature. In the spring of last year my disorder had got to such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence-4 had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years; my skin, in different parts, was very much discoloured, and I suffered such excruciating pain, particu larly when warm in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; is this lamentable state, I was recommended by Mr. J. Thomp son (who received so great a cure by them h e r e ), t o t a k e vour Leake's Patent Pills, which I began to do on the tab of Islay; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive henerit—in little more than a month the ulcerations disappeared, leaving, however, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left leg, which, by the blessing of tiod, and a little longer perseverance in your invaluable Medi cine, subsided; the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by four liberal advice and m e di cine , per f ect l y f ree f rom a ll my ormer complaints—have recovered my former spirits and strength, and am become jolly and fat, in which stale haslet; continued many months, to the astonishment of all who kpew me, I ant at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occa sion in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sir, your grateful, obedient, very humbl e screen t ALEX.
